The intelligent TGW picking robot was awarded as Material Handling Innovation of the Year 2024 at the SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. Thanks to artificial intelligence, RovoFlex learns with every pick and continuously optimizes itself. Whether it’s food, fashion items, or industrial and consumer goods, processes such as sorting, consolidating, or separating can be efficiently automated.
(Marchtrenk) The smart robot, along with its intelligent camera system, is used in combination with the TGW PickCenter to form a hybrid picking station. Users can seamlessly switch between manual and automatic modes to cover order peaks. Another advantage: The picking robot can be integrated into existing facilities within a few days.
Throughput of up to 1,000 items per hour
RovoFlex addresses challenges such as the increasing labor shortage in many industries or ever faster assortment changes. Even demanding goods like frozen products or sharp objects pose no problem in handling. RovoFlex achieves a throughput of up to 1,000 items per hour – and that with consistent performance and precision. Whether it’s food, fashion items, or industrial and consumer goods. In a two-shift operation, the return on investment is already achieved after about two and a half years.
Gamechanger for Intralogistics
“We are very pleased to receive the award for Material Handling Innovation of the Year. The SupplyTech Breakthrough Award is a great confirmation of our customer-centric development work,” emphasizes Christoph Wolkerstorfer, Chief Technology Officer of TGW Logistics. “TGW Logistics brings more than 50 years of experience in developing innovative systems and solutions. Our experts have incorporated this knowledge into a picking robot that elevates picking efficiency to a new level – making it a gamechanger for the industry.”
